Helton Arrives at Camp an Estimated 30 Pounds Stronger

Found February 26, 2007 on MVN:

Helton Arrives at Camp an Estimated 30 Pounds Stronger

TEAMS: Colorado Rockies
PLAYERS: Todd Helton

Todd Helton came to camp roping homers over the right-field wall, admittedly weighing over 225 pounds. After a stomach virus sent him to the disabled list, Helton played 2006 at around 200. I examine the effects this could have on fantasy.

Things like this remind me of all the various offseason workout stories that I always try to ignore, but ultimately buy into. I'm surprised no one has gone public with their 30/30 goal and that the manager is planning on giving them the green light this year (aaron Rowand anyone?). This might help Helton jack a few more homers when he's in the lineup, but adding weight doesn't necessarily cure a bad back. I'm staying put on draft rankings. If people ignore him on draft day, I'll grab him. If not, I'll let someone else deal with him.

Basically my sentiments exactly, MasterBlaster. Well put.

I wonder if he worked out with Bonds in the off season.
